Those who have gone before

As with other Navies established in former colonies of the

British Empire, ours was a child of the Royal Navy. As we went

through childhood we almost slavishly followed our parent

service in every facet: our structure, administrative practices,

training systems, uniform, operational procedures were to a

great extent carbon copies of those of the R.N. It was not until

after the end of WW2 that an RAN trained officer, Sir John

Collins, assumed the office we now know as Chief of Navy and

it was not until the 1960’s that we began to effectively cut the

apron strings which had tied us so closely to our parent service

for over half a century. Over the past 50 years, as we matured as

an adult Navy in our own right, we have progressively moved

away from the style, practices and procedures of earlier years

and asserted a degree of independence.

The first century of our existence as the Royal Australian Navy

has included wide ranging incidents – in wars and in peace – in

which individuals of all ranks have performed heroic deeds

deserving of recognition by posterity; the nature of many acts of

valour, professional dedication and selfless sacrifice have the

potential to inspire present and future generations of those who

proudly wear the Naval uniform. Many of those in this

category began their RAN careers at the Recruit School at

Cerberus (or Flinders Naval Depot as it was known for many

years) and it is fitting that the Divisions at that starting place

have recently been renamed in honour of four whose service was

exemplary. They are but four of many who could be so

acclaimed. We should all take pride in the memory of their

deeds. A brief synopsis of the reasons for this recognition is set

out hereunder.

Leading Seaman Noel Ervin Shipp. After joining as an

Underwater Control rating in January 1963 Shipp transferred to

aircrew category in 1967 and the following year was posted to

the RAN Helicopter Flight Vietnam (RANHV) which integrated

with the US Army 135th Assault Helicopter Company. He

participated in frequent ground assaults on enemy positions and

troop concentrations.

On 31 May 1969 his helicopter was involved in the extraction of

units of the 7th ARVN Infantry Division. With complete

disregard for his own safety he hung half outside his aircraft to

bring effective rocket fire to bear on a target. His pilot was hit

by enemy fire and his gunship crashed and exploded in the

jungle. All four crew members perished.

Leading Seaman Ronald ‘Buck’ Taylor. Born in Carlton in 1918,

the fourth in a family of ten, Buck Taylor struggled through the

Depression years before joining the RAN in 1935. He became a

gunnery sailor and in HMA Ships Vampire and Adelaide before

joining Yarra just before the outbreak of WW2. During service in

the Middle East in 1940-41 he was promoted Leading Seaman

and earned high praise as a gun captain in actions in the

Mediterranean and later in the vicinity of Singapore. On 27

February 1942, in the early stages of escorting three auxiliary

vessels from Java to Fremantle, Yarra was attacked and sunk by

an overwhelming Japanese force. ‘Buck’ Taylor ignored the

order to abandon ship and stayed alone at his gun until he was

killed shortly before the ship went down.

Leading Seaman Francis Bassett ‘Richard’ Emms. Starting life in

Tasmania in 1909, ‘Richard’ Emms joined Cerberus in 1928 as a

seaman and specialised in gunnery in 1930. Over the next 7

years he served in HMA Ships Canberra, Australia, Penguin,

Waterhen, Vendetta and Brisbane before joining Sydney in the

Mediterranean. With his eyesight deteriorating he transferred to

the Supply Branch as a Cook and subsequently served in Stuart,

Swan and Penguin before posting ashore to Melville in Darwin in

1940.

In February 1942 he was onboard the boom defence vessel Kara

Kara in Darwin harbour when the Japanese carried out the first

of their bombing raids on that city on 19th of that month.

Manning a machine gun ‘Richard’ Emms returned fire and

continued to do so even after he had been seriously wounded. It

is assessed that his action saved the lives of several of his

shipmates. He died as a result of his wounds later that day and

was buried at sea.

Chief Petty Officer Jonathan Rogers. 2 years after the end of

WW1 Jonathan Rogers was born in Wales; 18 years later, 1 year

before the start of WW2 he joined the Royal Navy. A seaman

specialist he spent most of the war in coastal vessels. Promoted

Petty Officer in 1943 he was awarded the Distinguished Service

Medal for his ‘coolness and leadership’ in an action off Dunkirk

in 1944. He was discharged from the RN in 1946 and 4 years

later he applied to join the RAN. Over the next 14 years he

served in HMA Ships Sydney, Burdekin, Tobruk, Junee, Anzac,

Warramunga, Barcoo and ashore at Cerberus and Rushcutter.

In January 1963 Chief Petty Officer ‘Buck’ Rogers joined HMAS

Voyager as Coxswain. On 10 February 1964 he was conducting a

tombola game in the forward cafeteria when the ship was cut in

two in collision with Melbourne. Voyager’s forward section

heeled sharply and about five minutes later turned upside down.

Survivors told how CPO Rogers had taken charge, organised

men to move to possible escape compartments, assisted sailors

through the nearest escape hatch and encouraged those left

behind to pray and meet death beside him with dignity and

honour. He was posthumously awarded the George Cross.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

May the courage and example of these four men be an

inspiration to all who pass through the Recruit School on their

way to a career in the RAN. And may their families,

descendants, and those us of who have served in uniform be

mindful and proud of their deeds.

Yours Aye!

The First Fateful Shot: Port Phillip Bay, August 1914

Shortly after midday the gunners at Fort Nepean lined up the German

merchant steamer – the SS Pfalz – as it bolted towards the heads and

fired the first shot in a terrible war that would last four long years and

scar the world. How was Australia placed at this moment in history?

What were the views of the people and the government of the day? Was

our military prepared or equipped for what lay ahead? These and many

other questions will be posed and answered at this unique conference

event. Hosted by the historic Fort Queenscliff Museum, The First Fateful

Shot: Port Phillip Bay, August 1914 will examine the lead-up to the

outbreak of World War I from the Australian perspective, and the events

of 1914 including the Australian Naval and Military Expeditionary Force

landing at Rabaul and the islands of the Bismarck Archipelago.

Interests: If you have a specific interest/link you think would be of appeal to

The Japanese and Allies portray the Battle of the Coral Sea as a victory. Both are probably right. The Japanese managed to sink more Allied ships than they lost. But the Allies prevented the Japanese from occupying Port Mores-by. More importantly, the Japanese forces available to be committed to the Midway offensive, exactly one month later had been unmistakably reduced. The Royal Australian Navy's overall contribution to the Battle of the Coral Sea may not have been as spectacular as that of the American carriers, but the work done by the coast watchers, intel-ligence staff, the cruisers and other sup-port ships and personnel all contributed

to the final result. We were reminded of the Battle of the Coral Sea offensive at a commemorative service at the Shrine of Remembrance by Captain Steve Bowater OAM RAN, Command-ing Officer HMAS CERBERUS and Senior Officer Victoria. Approximately 100 Veterans, Service men & women,

There is considerable discussion taking place to revive Navy Week in 2015. The planning is underway for a Navy Commemorative Dinner. Expectations are that we can create sufficient interest to gather over a 1,000 Navy folk at a suitable venue. Best to note the date in your diary now so you don’t miss out on what is going to be a fantastic evening. The dinner will precede the Seafarers Church Service, a commitment that has been taking place since 1907. Seafarers will be followed by the Navy Wreath Laying Service. This service commenced in 1966 when Admiral Cunningham RN visited Melbourne. The sailors who serviced under him in the Mediterranean arranged appropriate activi-ties to highlight his journey to Australia. All of this will occur over the weekend of 18/19 October 2015. The following week you will be able to visit the Open Day at HMAS CERBERUS . These activities will bookend what may well be an exciting week of social and professional activities. Is this of interest to you and your ship mates, let us know if you have any pro-posal to organise an activity to suit the occasion? With your input we might create a very busy week that will excite the Navy Community. The last Navy week was many years ago and we are keen to resurrect this formal occasion with some fanfare.

ANZAC Day 2014 in Melbourne was a great day and a credit to those that made the effort. Many seem to be mystified about our responsibilities as ex-service men and women with regard to continuing a minimal level of duty, despite having paid off from active service. No matter how short or long your service was (or is) in the Navy, remember the legacy connect-ed with that service. Each of us need to focus on our power to promote support for our Defence Force, particularly the RAN. On the other hand, there are descendants that are inspired by their Navy forebears and seek to perpetuate their heritage. We congratulate the descendants who have pushed ahead, despite the obstacles some folk have inadvertently put before them. We should support those that endeavor to make a difference, together we might just keep the legacy alive. Please give this idea some thought as a global effort would produce a remarkable outcome. To make it easy, we continue to write about the Flag Ship Events, these are the principle commemorative services that

highlight significant Navy wide mile-stones. Other services occur throughout the year at the Shrine of Remembrance and at many memorials across the State. There has been some interest lately in pursuing the combined weight of our var-ious organisations. If we give some thought to the breadth of the Navy Com-munity and the obvious interest within it, we should wonder why we are not pro-gressing more vigorously. What is it that prohibits us collecting our combined resources for the betterment of Navy, past and present. Some effort by us will go a long way to build our position of support and sustainability. The import ance of treasuring our maritime heritage through commemoration is critical to the understanding of future generations. Whilst the wellbeing of our Veterans is also a key factor, that in itself will not perpetuate the great deeds and losses of the past. We need to continue to pro-mote and demonstrate our positive sup-port of Navy and the wider maritime in-dustry. Yours aye, Terry Makings

SS Devanha Lifeboat

Email: naval.commemoration.committee@gmail.com Website: http://navyvic.net/

Navy Week 2015 A highlight of the Galleries of Remembrance will be an exhibit of the SS Devanha lifeboat. This boat, similar to a whaler was used at Gallipoli. The landing boat is on loan from the Australian War Memorial. The Devanha carried soldiers of the 12th Battalion and the 3rd Field Ambulance into Anzac Cove on the morning of 25 April 1915. The boat was delivered on Sunday, 4MAY14 to the Shrine of Remembrance and the arrival was witnessed by 90 Recruits from Emm Division, RAN Recruit School. The Premier of Victoria was in attendance for the unveiling of the boat prior to it being be moved to its permanent location. The Premier took time out to chat to Recruits.

Alma Doepel

Alma Doepel, a three-masted schooner has her own battle honours. The vessel was built in 1903 in Bellingen, NSW, by Frederik Doepel. For many years she sailed around the coast of Australia, carry-ing timber, wheat and preserves. Most importantly, she was deployed in World War II as a supply vessel in Papua New Guinea. In this stealth role, the vessel sailed with the primary aim of avoiding detection by the enemy. Many soldiers would have thanked their luck stars on sighting the Alma Doepel on the hori-zon. This level of excitement may be resurrected when the current overhaul program is completed.

ANZAC Day Holbrook The town of Holbrook, NSW hosted a large contin-gent of Submariners over the recent ANZAC Day weekend. The Dawn Service swelled with some 400 Submariners in attendance, they had travelled from all points of the compass to rekindle friend-ships and remember those no longer able to attend. This surge of numbers was particularly evident at the ANZAC Day Memorial Service later in the day where some 800 Veterans, family and friends were present. The Submariners had reunited to pay hom-age to those who had experienced service in subma-rines when times were not so good. The journey by Submariners has been one of high risk; hard work-ing and playing hard. Much of their work being oblivious to the those on the surface (targets). Holbrook and our Submariners enjoy a special rela-tionship and it is a credit to all concerned that they mark these occasions with such gusto. Their col-lective enthusiasm combined the pleasure of meet and greets, through to recognising the efforts of past and present Submariners. There is much to be said regarding the military heritage of Holbrook, from being named after a Lieutenant N.D.Holbrook VC RN, the first Submariner to be awarded a VC.

Defence will build the total number from 56,000 to 60,000 people over the next four years. It seems the federal budget has at least one undisputed allocation and that is to Defence. Navy’s allocation will increase from $4.5 billion this year to $4.8 billion next financial year and almost $5 billion in 2015-16. Much of this increase will benefit uniformed personnel as civilian staff is reduced. Notwithstanding, rumour is that oper-ational commitments will be reduced. Submarines & frigates, amphibious and minor warships, replenish-ment ships will all encounter a reduction of up to 25%. Hopefully ship upkeep will meet expected availability

Chief of Navy recently announced that Commodore Stuart Mayer, CSC and bar, RAN will be appointed as the next Fleet Commander as of 14JUN14 on pro-motion to Rear Admiral. He joined the RAN in 1984 as a Seamen specialist, having been raised in Sydney. After initial training, Stuart was awarded his Bridge Watch-keeping Certificates in the minor warship GLADSTONE and then the major warship DAR-WIN. He then undertook sub-specialisation training as an Air Intercept Controller and applied that skill in CANBERRA & SYDNEY. He then undertook dag-ger training to become a Principal Warfare Officer (Direction), graduating with distinction in 1994. Stuart then re-turned to CANBERRA and was then appointed to ADELAIDE. Ad-vise is that Stuart served in CANBERRA at every rank, from trainee to Commanding Officer. If you want to know more about the Fleet Commander, see hmascanberra.com

ANZAC Day I may be time to review the arrange-ments for the march in Melbourne. It is difficult to know why we keep ship types apart, ie. WWI, WW2 etc. That may works well for Army, but ship names continue and identified by the Battle Honours Board, with inherited honours from earlier ships. Do you have a view, change or keep the ex-isting line up, how about letting NCCV know.

Navy Victoria Network. The webmaster has made a few changes to the website. If you wish to see the NCCV page, then type in nccv.navyvic.net and you will go straight to the NCCV page. This goes for all Associations that have taken the trouble to have NavyVIC list your specific Association on the website. If not listed, go to navyvic.net now and have your Association particulars listed, how else will any newcomer find you and join in the fun! For those Associations already listed, just add your known prefix to navyvic.net address.

Home Port. Do you have a home port for your Ship/Unit/Branch Association. A home port that is a place where you can meet and socialise on an on-going basis? The Melbourne Naval Centre provide the opportunity at Toorak Road West, where all As-

Items of special interest sociations can meet at no cost. If the MNC is not part of your structure, because of distance or other cause, then look to a Naval Association or RSL Sub-Branch to establish yourselves. These places may well be the home of you banner and centre of activities. If this interests you and you need to discuss, by all means let the NCCV know.

George Washington. The following is a quote by George Washington, President USA which is doing the rounds at the moment; ’The willingness of future generations to serve in our military will be directly dependent upon how well we treat those who have served in the past.’ This might help reinforce our own underlying objective.

HMAS SYDNEY. The SYDNEY 3 had disem-barked the Carrier Air Group and the ship was converted to a training ship. SYDNEY 3 left on its first training cruise in MAY 1955. HMAS VENDETTA.

ANZAC Centenary

As we near the beginning of the centennial of the Great War we need to prepare ourselves for the activities of commemoration that will remind us of the trauma that beset the Austral-ian Nation. There were some 417,000 enlisted across the country. Of those 60,000 made the supreme sacrifice. A further 156,000 were injured. Victoria’s contribution to this fighting force was 117,000 with 89,000 being sent overseas, 19,000 did not come home. Hard to imagine one in ten Victorians in the Service and then one in five of them buried where they fell. The first shot of the War occurred in Victoria when a German freighter, SS Pfalz tried to dash out of the port only hours after war was declared in Australia on 5th August 1914. A suitable event is being organised at the site where the artillery fired that first shot. Parks Victoria will provide interpretive signs to in-form visitors to the area of the significance of the site, with respect to the contribution by our Defence Force at Fort Nepean.
